Grok on Sea Limited $SE into tomorrow's print:
As Sea Limited ($SE) heads into its Q4 earnings release before the market opens on March 4, 2025, a bearish outlook casts a shadow over the Singapore-based tech giant, despite the recent strength in Chinese tech stocks. Analysts expect an EPS of $XXXX on revenue of $XXXX billion, but cracks in $SE’s armor—combined with its tangled ties to China’s tech ecosystem—could spell trouble, potentially sending the stock reeling.
Chinese tech names like Tencent ($TCEHY) and PDD Holdings ($PDD) have flexed resilience lately, with Tencent up X% YTD and PDD riding Temu’s cross-border momentum. This strength might buoy sentiment for some Asia-focused plays, but $SE’s relationship with China is a double-edged sword. Tencent, a major shareholder with a 20%+ stake, exerts significant influence over $SE’s Garena gaming arm, which leans heavily on Tencent-developed titles like Free Fire. While China’s tech rebound could signal a rising tide, $SE’s lack of direct operational exposure to mainland China limits its ability to ride that wave.
